Excuse me, Sir ... are you a monster?
Penning a book on a century's worth of Monster Movies proved more than just an exercise in research for Emma Westwood. Not only were there 'categories' of monsters that needed considering, but it appears 'monster' means different things to different people...

Festival report: 58th Berlin International Film Festival (7-17 February)
It doesn't happen often that The Hollywood Reporter trades in its usual slangy reverence for the hand that feeds it, but during the 58th Berlin International Film Festival it accused the aging festival of playing it safe especially when it comes to the competition and the art-house minded Forum sidebar ("...a section for poseurs.") Ouch. Thessa Mooij was in Berlin to see whether the festival, like its neighbouring competitor Rotterdam, has indeed been coasting for too long.
